Finally a quiet day when I'm NOT being, umm, distracted. Chance to catch up on the ever incoming tide of email and at least deal with the important ones. Perhaps I'll take some reading ones away with me next week. Perhaps not.

Meanwhile my language learning is not progressing very well but excitement is mounting as a group of us look forward to a theater trip next month that has been in the headlines this week. Mostly through the show being terrific and long since a complete sell out. Apparently the tickets we have are now selling on Ebay for anything up to $1400. I'm almost tempted to take the money and run... (Poor R, sitting there with all our 16 tickets at home!)
